Why She Ran AWAY.

A well known citizen had his wife ar
rested on charge of running away from
him and taking several valuable articles
with her.
Madam said the judge, ''the mere
act OF your running away from your
husband is a violation of none other
than that great moral law and for
which you will have to answer before
the Judge of Judges But as you have
been arraigned Oh q charge of taking
Your husbands property, L would like
TO ask YOU q few questions. l hear
that YOU had & very pleasant homer"
Yes. sir very pleasant" the woman
replied.
Your husband was very kind to
you, l understand"
YES, sir; very kind"
You left him, then, because You
did not love hum?"
ooh, no, sir; L love John very much"
What. ran away from home when
you love your husband?"
Yes, sir"
Madam, will you please explain?'
Il will try, sir. Some time ago Mrs.
Jeckleton ran away and although we
all knew her to be as ugly as a night
mare. the newspapers, in speaking of
the incident, said that she was hand
some. A little later, Mrs. Brockrian,
who has a hair mole on her face, is
cross-eyed and as yellow as a pest
house FLAG, al away and the newspa-
pers said she was beautiful. These
facts proved upon my mind. 1 had al
ways longed to be called beautiful, so.
L ran away in order that l might Ge
myself complimented."
MADAM. l suppose you are now sor-
~ that you took such i foolish step"
Yes, sir"
Sorry. madam, because you now see
the vanity and weakness of allowing
yourself to be so perniciously led
astray?'
No. sir"
What! not sorry on that account"
No, Sir"
Then why are you sorry?"
Because the newspapers did not
speak of me at all.-Arkansdw 1raU-

The Ballet Centrifugally Considered.

A not too entertaining caller at the
sanctum was relating. the other morn
ing. his opinion of the opera as given
on the evening previous. He alluded
to the vast amount of talk concerning
the morality of the ballet with which
the papers have recently been filled.
81 haven't any opinion on the SUBJ
ject of the relation between the ballet
and ethics" he was pie ased to observe,
while the editor concealed a yawn be-
hind his hand, ''but I have discovered
what is the most awkward p~redicament
in which a mortal can be placed"
land what is that:?"
"Why, if the premiere danseuse in
dancing a passeul should turn a
pirouet:e so fast that one of her legs
should fly off from centrifugal force"
Nonsense; she'd only have TO stand
On one toe until somebody brought it
back. The situation is not nearly as
awkward as was that of I. the other
evening when he found he had Just in
troduced Mrs. X. to her divorced hus-
band; or as that of P. when he found
himself at a dinner party assigned to
Miss Y, by whom he had been reject
ed two days earlier"
why, those things" the visitor OBJ
jected, ''are in the common experience
of social life, and all education is a
training to meet them. Civilization is
made up of a series of exper ences
that train a man to accepting this sort
of unpleasantness but the dancer can
have had no experience that would

Worldly Wisdom.

''What is the best thing in this
world?" a traveller once asked. after he
had traversed Christendom and returned
to his native town to enlighten the vii
layers with his wisdom. 'Libert y" he
answered.
What is the most pie asant?"
"Gain,.'
THE least known?"
'Good fortune"
''Who is the most happy man in the
world?"
The learned man who has riches
and knows the use of them"
1.-The most importunate:?"
THE ~hard-hearted creditor"
The most dangerous"
1.-The ignorant physician"
THE most ~pitiab,e?"
1.-The liar. who is not believed VIXEN

not be approved. there is food for
thought in them all.-Iouth's Compan-

my wife," lie hoarsely murmurs, his
body shaken by convulsive sobs. a flood
Of iears pouring from his burning eyes.
The explanation between them was
not long. Christine. after humoring
the fancy of her brother to dress and
Golf her in the Sultan's present in a
true oriental style. had been conducted
by him to the regular station where
they had expected to find a carriage.
But it was not until they had gone
the length of the Rue de Harve that
they had met the fiacre. She had re-
fused. knowing how fatigued he must
be from travelling. to allow him to ac-
company her. Once in the carriage she
remembered nothing more.
1t was now Pascal's turn to relate
how she had fallen into a syncope I'M
der the combined influence of fatigue,
nervous excitement and the action of
the cold upon imperfect circulation.
This svncope had become letharg C in
character, indeed. almost cataleptic.
Believing her dead and blinded by a
mad jealousy, caused by the mysterious
conditions under which he had found
her, he had dared to outrage her by the
most odious suspicious. A life of re-
pentence could not atone for his fault.
Christine. however, refused to listen to
his self~-reproaches. The madness of
her husband was in her eyes but the
natural outgrowth of the affection he
bore her. and she forgave him with all
her heart.
But all the same. Pascal was not
cured of his jealousy. You can not cure
such things. Still, the fear that he had
suffered proved q warning to him. He
devoted himself to his wife more than
her had done even in the days of their
early welded life. The academy suf-
tered, it is true, the loss of many in
teresting lectures and treatises, but, to
finish like the stories in the fairy books,
Pascal and his wife were happy forever
more.

they could be scooped put of the water

A MANIFESTATION.
The Ghost Story Told by Nellie
Messenger

'"Well!' said Rosamond Hastings, in
mock despair, as she stood before
the little crowd of people in her fathers
library, 81 never yet had so thankless
a task before me. Here are a dozen dis
appointed people waiting to be enter
tanned, as if any thing could take
the place of tennis by moonlight!
Papa, you had much better have let
them 60 home when it began to rain,
as Nellie kindly suggested
Judge Hastings laughed, as he al
ways did when Rosamond scoldcd,
whether in fun or in earnest. "You
may ease your mind Of all responsible
ity at once, Rose. This is my party
tonight; did l not kindle the fire with
my own hands? Nellie, come a triie
nearer the fire and dry the skirt Of your
gown. I am going to make you do the
honors, since Rosamond's plans have
failed. What is the correct amusement
for a damp, chilly evening in Septem-
Der? Do you know of any thing suffi-
GENTLY soothing to calm disappointed
tennis clubp
The kindly old Judge had always
petted Nelly Lake since the days when
she and Rosamond had made mud pies
together; and when his junior law
partner. Ned Massinger, mentioned
that he was going to marry ''Llttle
Nell," the genial old man had answer
ed: There's only one lovelier girl in
the world, Ned, and that's Rosamond;
and you couldn't have her, anyhow"
Mrs. Massinger fully appreciated the
Judges regard, and was quite ready
to throw herself into the breach, and
help him in his present extremity.
II have just one inspiration" said
the pretty little matron, as she spread
out her white tennis skirts in the glow
of the fire. Lets tell ghost stories.
If this project is not received with &C
clamation, l shall be forced to conclude
that the doings of the spirit-world are
withllolden from your commonplace
eyes, and that you don't know a ghost
when you see it,
In spite of this dreadful threat, the
audience still looked uncommunica-
tive.
You'll have to tell your W ghost
story. Nell," said Ned. mo n else
will volunteer. Judge Hastings, turn
down the gas, and throw some blue
tableau fire into the blaze. Nelly is
going to begin"
Eyes, Nelly" said the Judge. Il
never saw a ghost in my life; and ! am
three times as old as any Of the rest Of
you; so your scheme must fall through
unless you rescue it Yourself"
Sat any rate said Nelly, "you
needn't get the blue light. My story
is hcartrending enough without any
scenic background. 1t happened just
after we were married, and it is just as
much Ned's ghost as mine, if he does
throw it all on me. We were not
haunted very long. In fact, there was
only one manifestation.
II had been out all one afternoon re-
turning our first calls. The air was
raw and chilly, much as it was the
same hour to-day. I was hurrying
home to avoid the evil effects Of the
sudden change in the weather, SO l
was surprised to see both servants out
on the front steps. Norah, the cook,
was steadying her broad back against
one Of the pillars of the porch, while
Ellen had thrown her gingham apron
over her head, and was walking up
and down in evident excitement. They
did not see me until l was almost Ia
the steps.
